TANKS WOMEN’S WEEK SERIES

Gill Hicks is con­sid­ered one of the most thought­pro­vok­ing, pow­er­ful and life af­firm­ing speak­ers. A sur­vivor of the Lon­don ter­ror­ist bomb­ings of 7 July 2005, she lost both legs from just be­low the knee. At the time she was at the helm of some of the UK’s most pres­ti­gious in­sti­tu­tions. Now she talks about avoid­ing ex­trem­ism and ad­vo­cates peace.
